I dont think Rch's going to respond to this due to he's having nightmares after seeing it.

Your men can't hit a mailbox

Just remember when you try to send that snow and cold someplace, to NOT think of Ohio. Actually we think we have it bad, and then someone makes a post like yours and we don't feel so bad.

Ours should go away tomorrow when it warms up and rains. It is still lots of snow and ice on the ground.

We were locked in basically for a few days and I was going NUTS. There is NO WAY I could live through a winter there or when it gets -18.

I do like looking at the pictures you guys put up from the WHITE DEATH areas so keep them coming.

We got snow on our roads too.

FinsnFur · January 14, 2011, 10:53:34 PM

Their all driving through the snow and slush down by CCP. There isnt a plow for 500 miles

Snow plow?...whats a snow plow?

When we get snow around here anything over two inches just about shuts our world down. One difference between us and those that live in the flat lands: If they should happen to run off the road they may get stuck in a shallow ditch. Here we miss the road and it can be a 200 foot drop to the bottom of a deep hollow. Pretty large pucker factor at times.

Amen to that Chet. Monday there was a guy off in the ditch on my road so I stopped to help him. He started ranting about how the people here get all tore up over a few inches of snow, how we make a run on the grocery store if we even see "snow" in the forecast, how we can't drive in the snow and that up in Michigan where he was from there was no way we could survive and that's when I just had to remind him of something.
I smiled and said, "From where I am sitting it looks like you are the one having a hard time surviving. I'm not the one that came down the hill too fast and tried to make the turn and missed". He started really acting like a turd at that point, so I excused myself, got back in my 4-runner and drove off. I heard him yell, "Where ya going"? I just smiled and waved.
Talk about your garden variety idiot. You would think he would have waited until I had him out of the ditch BEFORE he started slamming us for our inability to handle the weather.

I'm thinking it cost him around $100 to get a tow truck to get him out.

BTW, I remember those winters up there in Northern Wyoming and when I lived in Nebraska. I remember dad having duel gas tanks, two spare tires, chains for his tires, jacks, heaters on the motors, tow chains, etc. He had a nice '79 Chevy 3/4 ton and it could flat pull through that weather. However, I think I have gotten use to the weather here after 28 years or so and believe I'll just stay.

Bop,

Michigan appreciates that you didn't pull the fool out. He might have just returned sooner to Michigan and they appreciate the fact that he isn't bothering them.

I hear ya Jerry. He's what we refer to as a snowbird. They just show up around fall and then start flying out of here in the spring again. I don't mind them too much. It's the one's that show up and can't seem to find their way back are the ones that kill me.

They leave Michigan because they can't stand it there any longer and then they come here and try to turn us into Michigan.

Doesn't make a lick of sense to me.

I don't mind them as much as I use to though.

pitw · January 16, 2011, 12:50:02 PM

Bop the way you handle Michiganites sounds very familiar to how I handle urbanites who come out here hunting

. Amazing how someone who is getting help can act in such horrific ways so as to make a man go against what he believes in just to prove a point

Ain't it the truth Barry, aint it the truth.
